I didn't even know we had a toad in the garden until I was out cutting the grass and this little chap leapt out from what seemed like 'under' the Flymo. So the gardening was abandoned while I went and got my camera, then lay down in all the grass clippings to get a few shots of him.
Post Challenge Some great shot's in this challenge, so I've no complaint with my score : )

So if I get your macro-lens do you promise that I'll score 6.8's too? I have serious lens envy...you've got the one I want!! Oh well, what do you expect from a teacher's salary....oh yeah....I'm not a teacher! ; )
This shot stood out in the challenge and garnered a nice vote from me. Very well done!
That's it. I'm selling my copy of that lens. It simply can't do this! It can't be the photographer - oh, no. It must be the lens. (Mostly it's that I can't hold it still enough to get shots like this.) Lovely guy, by the way. I'm quite fond of amphibians and reptiles and such.
is 'toad' his name, or is he just some random toad you happened to come across in your yard ..??.. lol ..
its a brilliant shot steve and lookin' extremely good on your profile page even if he isnt the handsomest guy around .. the reflection in his eye is amazing .. :)
